Compared with the previous founding emperors, Zhu Yixi was extremely special.
In terms of family, he does not have the kind of people like Yang Jian and Li Yuan who help each other, but he is not like Zhu Yuanzhang and Liu Bang who are independent and rely on their father-in-law to make a fortune.
It’s too much to say, but there are very few real blood relatives; there are only a few; it’s too little, but the Prince Heyang family has been in the family for more than a hundred years, and they can always come up with a few. If not, they can go to the Qin King family to find them, and even expand them to the clans of the world, and there are many. Countless.
Less is not too little, more is not too much.
Therefore, the only people Zhu Yixi truly trusted were Zhu Jing, Zhu Mou, Zhu Meng, as well as Zhu Yi, Sun Lin and other Qiandi relatives who had followed him from the beginning.
Zhu Jing has the closest relationship. It can be said that Zhu Yixi is raised as a biological brother.
Learn calligraphy, arithmetic, and military training, and keep them by your side for personal instruction.
For the sake of his future, he was placed directly in Beijing and served as a military commander for more than a year. He started at the sixth level.
The issue of official rank has been solved, but what about the title?
If you don’t get a knighthood without merit, you have to give it a chance and make a good contribution!
Zhu Yixi felt as if she was doing something for her own son and was heartbroken.
Sometimes he really doubts that Zhu Jing is the protagonist, and that his wife, official title, etc. are all well arranged.
"Go and follow Lu Daqi. I will give you three thousand cavalry to protect him and carry out his orders."
The emperor said earnestly, his eyes full of expectation.
Looking at Zhu Jing's surprised and joyful eyes, Zhu Yixi suddenly thought of something and raised her eyebrows.
The titles are divided into two categories, one is the title of meritorious officials, Duke Bozinan, the other is the title of clan, prince, county king, as well as the third-level generals of Zhenguo, Fuguo and Fengguo, as well as their third-rank lieutenants.
However, just like the title of meritorious minister, the hereditary title will remain unchanged only when the prince and county title can reduce the last two levels of the hereditary title.
Compared with the eighth level of the clan nobles, the meritorious nobles only have the fifth level, so many people will definitely be missed.
For example, in the Manchu Qing Dynasty, there were nine and twenty-seven levels, which were extremely complicated. Most of the people who took the title were the Eight Banners, and the scale exceeded a thousand people.
For someone like Zhu Jing, who has been on the fifth server, if he is to be considered a meritorious knight, even the simplest baron would have to kill thousands of people to get the title, so the chances are slim.
Having been touching Manqing to cross the river, Zhu Yixi felt a little moved at this time:
"You think, what if we add two nobles of one hundred households or one thousand households under the baron, with an annual salary of one hundred stones?"
"I don't understand this."
Zhu Jing wanted to nod suddenly, but she still shook her head in confusion.
"Then add it!"
Speaking of this, Zhu Yixi looked confused.
"I have allowed the Baron to inherit the throne for two generations, just from Thousand Households and Hundred Households."
"Furthermore, when I ascended the throne, I took it for granted. People worked so hard for our Zhu family, and they fought through mountains and seas of fire. It would be difficult to inherit the throne without becoming a duke. It's so inhumane."
"Maybe many people are calling me unkind and unjust!"
These self-deprecating words made the eunuchs and maids nearby tremble with fear, even Zhu Jing was no exception.
Who knows if the emperor is angry or laughing at himself?
"Preach the instructions to the cabinet. The princes should stop at Zinan, and the uncle and Zijue should stop at thousands or hundreds of households!"
The eunuch on the side immediately agreed and couldn't wait to leave.
After giving the instructions, Zhu Yixi felt inexplicably relaxed and said thoughtfully: "As for the baron, that's too much. He is almost half a lord, and can be inherited for five more generations (previously it was two generations), otherwise the burden on the court will be too great."
Comparing one's feelings with one's own, except for the Song Dynasty, which placed great emphasis on literature and military affairs, and only awarded lifetime titles, the other dynasties basically hereditary titles for meritorious officials.
How could Zhu Jing dare to speak at this time? The emperor was checking for gaps and making up for them!
Suddenly, years of political training made him realize:
This is a sweet date, a foreshadowing of future slaps.
And to rectify the border troops, isn't this just a slap in the face?
When a good thing suddenly comes to an end, who dares to fall out with the court over some land?
He glanced at Qi Julang who was writing furiously next to him. He didn't know what he would write in the history book.
Of course, the daily notes only record the facts, and beautification is definitely necessary.
After chatting with the emperor for a few more words and assuming the role of tool man, Zhu Jing went to see the queen.
From the 16th year of Chongzhen to the second year of Shaowu, he had been serving as the guard, or messenger, of the emperor and the harem.
Even, for a period of time before and after the emperor's marriage, he assumed the role of heir in a sense.
Once something unexpected happens, he is the best choice, but he is not known to everyone.
Times have changed, so there is no need to mention these, but over the years, due to his younger age and often serving as a guard, his relationship with the emperor's harem has been extremely harmonious.
"Thirteen!"
When Sun Xueniang saw Zhu Jing arriving, she had a demure smile on her face.
"How long has it been since you entered the palace? But you married a wife outside. Have you forgotten about me?"
"My dear, Thirteen, how dare you!" Zhu Jing hurriedly held her hands, her face full of helplessness.
"I'm sorry you don't dare!" Sun Xueniang smiled: "I found this girl for you. I picked her from thousands of choices. It's not easy to be a matchmaker."
Zhu Jing sighed, it was you who did the co-writing.
Helpless, he smiled shyly and said, "Mother, from which family is this young lady? I am so lucky."
"I won't hide it from you. She is the granddaughter of Ding Kuichu, the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi. She looks upright. I heard that she has a large dowry."
Ding Kuichu was a Jinshi in the 44th year of Wanli in the Ming Dynasty (1616). He has served as the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi since the beginning of the 17th year of Chongzhen's reign, and it has been five years now.
Civil servants like Ding Kuichu,
Hearing this person's name, these were the thoughts that came to Zhu Jing's mind, and she smiled bitterly in her heart: Governor Ding is afraid that his official position is coming to an end.
Marriage with nobles is actually a kind of appeasement to civil servants, especially civil servants of the previous dynasty.
After all, having noble relatives who have been rich for generations is a great guarantee, especially during the founding period.
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for the marriage." Zhu Jing was extremely happy.
Later, the news spread throughout the harem that he was getting married. For a while, it was difficult for him to leave. He could only go to meet and accept teasing.
After finally returning home, as soon as I sat down and took a breath, people came in one after another from the door.
"The queen rewarded her with a hundred taels of gold, a thousand yuan of silver, three sets of fur coats, and ten pairs of golden leather boots..."
"The virtuous concubine will reward you with fifty taels of gold and a bow..."
"Concubine Zhuang..."
Gifts of all kinds poured in, filling up his already small house.
"This is too much."
The servants were stunned, the master's wealth was so frightening.
At the end, it is a gift from the emperor.
A royal horse, a hundred taels of gold, five shops in the inner city, and a 5,000-acre manor outside. It was simple and unpretentious, and was worth more than 100,000 silver coins.
This kind of reward is very important and very satisfying.
No one had any objection to saying that he was the emperor's biological child.
